Web site: Bin Laden to release Israel message

NEW YORK — Osama bin Laden, who has threatened to extend al-Qaida's terror to Israel, will release a new Internet message dealing with Israelis and Palestinians, a terrorism monitoring group said Thursday.

The announcement of the impending comments by the head of al-Qaida was posted on Web sites often used by Islamic militant groups, the SITE Intelligence Group said.

Bin Laden's statement, "The Causes of Conflict on the 60th Anniversary of the Establishment of the State of Israeli Occupation" and will be addressed to the "Western peoples," SITE said.

Israel has been celebrating the anniversary of its independence, but the occasion has also been mourned by many Palestinians as a reminder of their uprooting.

The Internet message _ expected to appear within 72 hours of the advertisement _ will be bin Laden's second this year and the seventh since the start of 2007, part of an overall increase by al-Qaida in the pace of Internet statements.

In a December, the terror leader offered an unusually direct attack on Israel and stepped up al-Qaida's attempts to use the Israeli-Arab conflict to rally supporters.

"We intend to liberate Palestine, the whole of Palestine from the (Jordan) river to the sea," he said, threatening "blood for blood, destruction for destruction."

Israel has warned of growing al-Qaida activity in Palestinian territory, though terror network is not believed to have taken a strong role there so far.

If he mentions Obama in some way, is that what the Clinton campaign was waiting for? Would she move in and say 'see he can't be president, so nominate me'?

[loudspeaker]

I don't care what he or any other Democrat is saying in their home videos. I'm voting for McCain.

[amanda85]

Yeah, suuuuuuuuuuuuuure, we'll believe anything the Bush administration says...

Check out the FBI's wanted poster for OBL.

Notice there's no mention of the WTC attacks. Even the FBI knows it's bogus.

I think that g.w.bush has a connection to bin laden because everytime he wants to
spread FEAR bin laden sends one of his messages!!! They bush and bin laden have
a code where bush makes the Fear message and then bin laden follows up w/
one of his messages.....or am I hallucinating....I don't think so!!!

[Markhax]

Is Osama bin Laden savvy enough to know that by saying something positive about Barack he can tilt the election to the GOP and thus serve Al Qaeda's ends? What's good for the GOP is good for Al Qaeda. Bush has been a great recruiter for Al Qaeda, just has he has been Iran's best friend.

[adavis08]

Michael Moore's Farienheit 911 told of the connection...see it.

[abby4ever]

They do this in the Uk too, only it's usually to bury a bad headline about Labor. Every time a bad headline about them is about to surface, they either go on tv and talk about some 'imminent' terrorist threat, or they stage a dawn raid on some poor, innocent muslims, with 500 special officers and after calling up the press to make sure they cover it. No one is ever found guilty.

[ResidentChimp]

I think this is the one where he endorses Obama.

[Kalima]

I suppose you think that this means something?
It just highlights your immaturity.

[abby4ever]

A subtle reference to Hamas, another terrorist entity, saying they like Obama?

[dotmafia]

Of course it's on the way.

Bush and the GOP are desperately needing to terrorize the American public just in time for their next inside job attack on the US. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Bin Laden was on the Saudi royal family and CIA payroll.

[biwee]

The real question is whether or not the real terrorists who executed the 911 attacks will ever be brought to justice. Doubtful, as many in the US simply have no interest in the truth. Instead they read Popular Mechanics, chosen to refute the 911 questioning. Bush and his partners have mastered the Nazi tactic of lying. The bigger the lie, the better. And, repeat the lie long enough until the sheeple take it as the truth. I just can not understand WHY so many in America fall for these big lies.

[CocteausTwin]

Hey just in time for the Presidential campaign -- go figure.

[Sandmann]

Well, this is just convenient for the GOP. Bin Laden is posthumously going to release a video with the intentions of keeping McCain relevant. He must have the same otherworldly distributor as Tupac Shakur.

Convenient that every time the Neocons are in trouble, a new Bin Boogeyman vid pops out of nowhere. I'd figure that if Al Qaeda and the rest of Radical Islam's greatest fear was the Neo's, that they'd be smart enough not to release vids precisely at the time when the Neo facists need a helping terrorist hand...But that's just me thinking logically.

[cdnnewsjunky]

My guess is McCain needs a boost in the polls. That boogeyman is getting kinda worn around the edges.

[sharonh]

The question is why does he keep showing up on video. Stop giving him a platform. Who cares about the politics of a murderer. Media, stop now.

[esgabel]

Another testoterone filled quasi religious rant that is an affront to the Muslim World.
What truly has Bin Laden done to better the people of Afghanastan who lived under fear of the Taliban during his residency before 9/11?
What has he done to make the lives of the Palestinians that he claims to support better?
What has he done beside spread the same kind of hate, death and idiocy that George Bush supports?
Let him get camera time but I for one am not interested--all he can do is threaten and create havoc as usual.
It is a small mind whose only answer is coersion and fear--

[TroubleNYC]

How come this guy stopped showing up on video?

[Seraphim99]

Please...everyone else in the world except the United States knows Bin Laden is dead, Benazir Bhutto revealed as much herself on British television. Just more fear mongering...Bin Laden is worth much more to the Bush administration if his spectre is kept alive

[sharonh]

Whatttt????

[Sandmann]

Do some research.

[adavis08]

Maybe that's why Bhutto was killed. Terrorist attacks are sometimes murders in disquise to keep a person quiet.

[KOisGod]

Has Bin Laden given up golf too?

[Turtleluv6]

Bush will know that answer!

[SouthFloridaDem]

Right on time.

[Manx]

I hear OBL will endorse John McCain for president because McCain wants to occupy Iraq indefinitely, and bomb Iran. This will a great help for Al Qaeda in recruiting new members.
